Criminal Carelessness.

Annie Skillman, four years old, while
standing behind the screen door in the
kitchen of her fathers residence on
Seventh street, last night, about seven
O'Clock, was shot in the abdomen On
the Fourth James Tudor and John
Chrisman set up target in the rear of
the latter's house, and were engaged in
practice shooting with a squirrel rifle,
which carries % cartridge. At the
time of the accident, Tudor was shoot
ing, and went wide of the mark, wound
ing the little girl as above described.
Drs. Phelps and Kirsch were sum-
mOned, and attended the little sufferer.
The bullet had penetrated the right side
of the abdomen, glancing between the
eleventh and twelfth ribs. 1t was
probed for to the depth of about an
inch and half, but not found. The
physicians think it better to leave it
where it is. To-day the little one is
getting along nicely, and will recover.
James Tudor was arrested on a
states warrant by Marshal Kirkwood.
and was this morning brought before
Squire Quinn for trial. Tie case
was continued to Sept. l, TudOr's
father and ID. i. Pierce furnishing
his bond, in the sum of 81 900.

Abilene is proud today. Her hook
and ladder company captured the prize
at Junction City yesterday, her gun
club killed the most birds at Gypsum
City, and her Chicken" gentleman
of color, won $500 foot race at Herring
tOn.-Sdlina Herald.
Considerable kicking is being in
dulged in over the execrabls condition
of most of the sidewalks on the south
side. Efforts would not be entirely
misdirected if the proper authorities
would enforce the ordinance relating to
the keeping in proper repair of the
thoroughfares throughout town.
The three months old child of Mr.
and Mrs. j. F. Bolster, died last night,
at 1890 O'Clock, at the residence of
James Bolster. The funeral will be
held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
A sad feature of the death was the alb
sence of the father and mother, who
are at present in California. Word of
their misfortune has been sent them at
Los Angeles.

Mileage laid during June

Eighty-one new locomotives, manu-
featured in the east, have been set up
in the Santa Fe shops so far this year.
The Santa Fe has already commenced
their surveying between Atchison and
st. Joseph. The line is to be compile
ted and trains running by January 1st.
The length of the line is twenty miles.
An immense fifty-five ton freight en-
CINE arrived for the Santa Fe from
Pittsburg, in charge of Engineer Geo.
n. Wheeler yesterday, whose duty it is
to set the locomotive up. Six more
will follow shortly. The one received
yesterday is ten wheeler, with six con-
Meeting drivers. The cylinder is l9x26.
Topeka Capital.
The Globe Democrat says: THE
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
road company, according to the state
ment of one of its principal officers, will
expend S10,0O0,000 on extensions in
Kansas in the near future, and
practically nothing in Missouri. That
is to say that its line across Missouri is
to be used as a mere convenience for
getting material and labOrers into
Kansas. The explanation is as obvious
as it is instructive. Kansas invites
new railroads, by guaranteeing them
just and fair treatment, while Mis-
souri, drives them away with menaces
of embarrassing and oppressive legisla-
tion."

Yesterdays Exodus.

Abilene yesterday was as quiet and
still as Sunday, the majority Of her
citizens seeking pleasure in the enter
tainment provided by neighboring
towns.
A large number took in the fire de-
partment celebration at junction City.
The excursion train which left Abilene
at $50 a. m, was ''lOaded down to the
guards" In addition, the noon train
was means of transportation for many
more. 1t is safe to calculate that at
least 800 citizens were visitors in
Junction. Everything passed off favor
ably, and the enjoyment was general.
No drunkenness occurred. ''Enthu-
siasm" in large chunks abounded, but
it was not artificial. 1t was the gen.
uine thing. But few drawbacks marred
the day, among which we feel bound to
mention the genial (?) proprietor of the
Barten House, who did his level best,
by exhorbitant charges and poor meals,
to make his guests feel at home. We
do not intend any acts of his to be re-
Election upon the good citizens of
Junction. On the contrary, the depart
ment, business men and citizens did
everything in their power to make the
day one to be marked as bright and
shining spot in the history of our elder
sister, Junction City. We heartily re-
turn thanks, upon behalf of our citizens,
FOR the hospitable manner in which all
were entertained. Our ssladdies''
as usual, got there in fine
shape, the hook and ladder team
winning the first prize over Salina,
CTS cold day when we can't knock
out Salinal and Hose 1 getting the
second prize in the hose company con-
test. The Manhattan Flambeau club
furnished the amusement in the even
ing, giving their usual fine display of
fireworks, and exciting the admiration
of all by their wonderful eyolutions.

To All Travelling Men.

The city of Abilene, Kansas, tenders
to all travelling men in Kansas a cordial
invitation to attend an entertainment
and banquet, given in honor of the state
meeting of the Travellers Protective
Association, in that city on July SOth,
1887. All are invited, regardless of
membership to the association, and re-
quested by the State Division of the
Travellers Protective Association to be

ISOLATION to have the grandest meeting
in the history of our state. The re-
organization of the association will take
place on that date, under the new con-
stitution. Every traveller in the state
is interested, and will miss the greatest

The County Commissioners are in

The Kansas Farm Mortgage Com

Forty Santa Fe teams were stopped

If you want to see Ed. Hamaker

for seat on the Bartell House
balcony.
A general kick was made on juno
ton City's crack hotel yesterday. A
third class meal at first class price is
what caused it.
H. p. Morley lost $1,000 bill on the

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing COnsump-
ton, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
with out immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bdttles to try, sold at 10 cents.
Regular size IS cents. Sold by all
druggists and Dealers, in the United
States and Canada.
